70,000 Miles Later…I Want To See Other People

June 21st, 2008 · by sandeep · No Comments

A couple of weeks ago, my Jetta and I hit a major milestone. We celebrated 6 years together and 70,000 miles worth of earth-destroying emissions. Huzzah!

How did we celebrate? Well, my stupid car’s sun roof opened automatically (a common occurrence of late) and I suddenly realized that I wanted to share my love with another vehicle. My love is not for another four-wheeled death machine; instead, I’m saving myself for a two-wheeled mode of transportation.

Motorcycle? Nope. Scooter? Yes!

I’m down to two choices, the Schwinn Newport 150

or the Genuine Scooter Buddy

Why a scooter, you ask? Well, I will tell you.

Scooters appear to be more efficient with the use of the foreign oil, to the tune of approx. 70-80 miles per gallon. That’s a lot of miles. Compare that to my Jetta which gets, on a good day, 26 or 27 miles per gallon. The cost savings over my car alone makes this worth considering.

However, in all truthiness, I really want a scooter to infiltrate the hipster culture that so many of my generation belong to. I mean, I don’t want to be a hipster myself. Nothing like that. I just want to understand them. In order to understand them, I must immerse myself in their culture. Yeah, that’s it.
